Jay-Z Makes 9/11 Answer The Call Concert Official
Posted on August 31, 2009 at 01:05 PM
Monday morning was a little more chaotic than usual at the Madison Square Garden/Penn Station complex in New York today as JAY-Z and a host of government luminaries held a press conference to officially announce Answer The Call, a concert being held on September 11 to benefit the New York Police and Fire Widows and Childrens' Benefit Fund.
The event was hosted by former Def Jam exec and hip-hop visionary, philanthropist and overachiever Kevin Liles, who introduced a series of speakers that included New York Governor David Patterson, FDNY Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta, Manhattan borough President Scott Stringer, as well as Mike Bair, president of Madison Square Garden Media. Each spoke for a few minutes, relating memories of 9/11, recalling the courage of those first responders, and in the case of Commissioner Scoppetta, noting that while his own musical tastes might skew closer to Sinatra than Carter, his kids have assured him that he'll enjoy JAY-Z's show.
So: the countdown to the 9pm, September 11th show live from Madison Square Garden begins NOW. The broadcast will be commercial free. And the question on everyone's mind: will there be special guests? JAY-Z says to expect them, but as for further info, he "doesn't want to give too much away..."
A few photos from this morning's press conference below. And much more JAY-Z here.

There’s a reason why they call him Jay-HOVA.
Posted on August 19, 2009 at 07:41 PM
As the summer draws to a close, it seems that September will belong to one of hip hop’s most successful entrepreneurs: JAY-Z. In addition to his stunning single "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye West, he’ll celebrate his 'The Blueprint 3' album dropping on September 11 with a one-night-only performance at Madison Square Garden.
On the mic, JAY-Z is known for blending verbal credibility with chart-topping hits, collaborating with everyone from his wife Beyonce to Linkin Park. But he's also the impresario of a business empire that extends outside of the music he produces to his chain of 40/40 Clubs and his partial stake in the New Jersey Nets. He spends his time rubbing elbows with celebrities and world-shaping personalities such as Bono, Bill Gates, Kofi Annan and Oprah.
Taking a page from other big-time philanthropists and nodding to his roots in the Marcy Projects in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, JAY-Z's concert on September 11 will give back to the city through Answer the Call, the New York Police and Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund. Stay tuned to this spot for breaking news, info on his new album, and how to get tickets to this very special show.
